Dear All, Are you interested in deepening your understanding and practice of Open Space Technology ? It's been a while since I've written to the list... and a while longer since Viv Mcwaters and I ran Open Space Training, and even longer still since the Open Space Yum Cha's that we used to host in Melbourne with Brian Bainbridge. I will be hosting a 4 week online OST training program starting in November (running Tuesday evenings), along with a 1 day face-to-face event in Melbourne on Friday 5th December. For more information - including how to register - click the link below: http://openspacetraining.eventbrite.com.au I'm looking forward to creating some time and space for this important facilitation method.
